Rack maintenance is exactly that...maintenance.

The cheque rack is divided into 2 main parts, the left side and the right side.

The Right Side:
Our working side is our right side of the rack. Regardless of where a player is located on the table, we will always pull cheques out of the right side of the rack to pay everybody.

We will put away losing bets on the right side and we will take cheques out to pay all players from the right side of the rack.

The Left Side:
Used only as an overflow / extra cheque reservoir in the event we begin to run low on a particular color on the right side of the rack. The cheques on the left side must only ever be in increments of 20. If you have 21, 19, 4, 16, or ANY amount of cheques other than increments of 20 per tube, it is incorrect and any extra cheques must be moved to the right side of the rack in the working tube of that color - with an exception; if you have one tube of your highest-value cheques. Hand Territories:
The left hand is in control of the left side of the rack. The right hand is in control of the right side of the rack. The left hand is not allowed on the right side of the rack.
The right hand is not allowed on the left side of the rack.

In the event you must move a stack of cheques from the left side of the rack to the right side because you are running low on the right side, the left hand will grab the outermost stack on the left side and place all 20 cheques on the left side of the shuffle pad. From there, the right hand will complete that stack's travel to the right side of the rack.

If you begin to have too many cheques on the right side of the rack and you must move a stack over to the left side of the rack, the right hand will pull out 20 cheques and place them on the right side of the shuffle pad. Prove the stack if needed, then place the stack of cheques on the left side of the shuffle pad where the left hand will take over from there; inserting the stack into the correct tube on the left side of the rack.

Working Colors: A working color is a color of cheque you are currently using to handle paying the player's bets at the time. For instance, if all players were betting $15 or less in red, red would be a working color but green, black, and purple would not be.

However; if there were players that were betting a decent amount of both red and green, then red and green would be considered working colors in your rack and are not subject to the separation procedure we must do using the clear lammers.

Points to remember:
- Left Hand on Left Side
- Right Hand on Right Side
- Work from Outside - In
- Left side is used for overflow / extra cheques
- Left side should only contain increments of 20 cheques
- Right side is our working side
- Only fix your rack when there are no cards on the table (between hands)
- Working colors do not need to be sectioned off
- Non-working colors that are less than 20 must be sectioned off
